Kara Lyons

Kara Lyons is a sculptor whose work embraces installation, live performance, public commissions and gallery exhibition. Drawing is an essential part of the process of developing all of her work via sketching and visualisation and is pursued as a creative medium in its own right. She has been working on a series of drawings which reference folkloric tales and archetypes as metaphors for current events and states of mind.

Her work seeks to re-examine the treatment and use of the use of the body in relation to sculptural traditions. Much of her work is made involving her own body as part of its process.

Kara works with Paul Haywood on the project Guns to Goods to create artworks using metal recycled from firearms.
